Let me help with some metrics about "things" you can install in your house:<p>- However bad you think the security on them might be at some level, it's worse. A "factory reset" won't reliably clear data, the devices can be tricked into leaking all sorts of stuff, etc.<p>- No matter what the company selling them says, if it has hardware of some variety, Chekhov's Gun applies - at some point, that hardware <i>will</i> be used.<p>- You will be disappointed by the supported hardware life in terms of software updates. It will seem like someone has just gotten bored with updating it and doesn't care about the ewaste they're generating. That "last supported firmware" will eventually either have a massive security issue discovered (Western Digital is a recent example) or will talk to APIs that simply stop working at some point (I believe some Samsung "Smart Fridges" suffered this death).<p>There's no good reason to install this sort of stuff in a modern house if you care the slightest bit about privacy.
